Procrastination Isn't a Time Management Problem, It's an Emotional Problem

Have you ever pushed something until the last minute? A college essay, a big project? Writing a follow-up email? Well, new research suggests that the problem has more to do with your emotions, rather than proper time management. For example, knowing you are on a tight deadline, for a task you don’t want to do, will produce a ton of feelings. Guilt for not being excited is one. Or self-sabotaging thoughts of being lazy and not good enough will surface. Once you have identified the source of your emotions, it may be a little easier to get back on track.
